Ranked Disconnects

Are you sure you remember the fight? Because it was on PSN.

 

I remember the fight. It went to the 5th round. I think it is the only time we have fought. I didn't remember that it was on PSN, but I remember not being kicked offline. I did not think that you pulled because I don't think you are Darthminion and we were in the middle of the round. It wasn't like one of us stood still for five seconds before the DC. We were both very low rank anyway so there was no motivation to pull and I am shocked that after all these years you think I would go out in such a bitch-like fashion!

 

I think the ranked disconnects part of the game is completely broken on PSN and needs a patch, and the database reset.

I only play on wifi at the moment (in the lounge) and my router is upstairs two rooms away, so pulling would be quite the assault course, and not something I'd ever do anyway, as losing is no big deal to me. My broadband is also 50MBits/sec fibre (5MByte/sec down, 0.4MByte up, ping is grade A at 27ms, 9ms jitter) so unlikely caused by my broadband service provider either.

Anyway, at lunchtime I had three games and as normal my icon was showing green smiley and the games completed fine for me before I switched off, the only difference being I tried one game using the world setting rather than local.

Tonight I went on and my logo was showing yellow in all games, rather than the usual green, and some player I was matched with, that had only played 6 games so far was showing a red frown before the game. That seems virtually impossible from such a small number of games to have a red icon. I still played that person and they seemed like a reasonably decent player with good connection and the game completed fine, so I'm now thinking we should probably ignore that icon and contact Sega about the problem.

 

On a side note, I this whole "disconnect while getting your ass kicked" deal hasn't caught on in Japan. I've made it above 10th dan without getting disconnected on once.

Maybe I'm just not beating them down as hard as sekaijin is

 

I had a yellow smile from random disco's until i played 20 straight and it turned green again.

 

Haze785/ Jon's up kage or whatever he was known as pulled out right as my 336p+g was in entry at our final match. Obviously, he has some talent and was known for gimmicky kage shenanigans, but they worked in vanilla not fs. Never thought he would pull, but I guess his team winning motto needs a pure win record dirty or not to satisfy the ego.

 

Yeah it went to the fifth round. I had about 80% life and you had 15-20% and it disconnected. It looked deliberate to me.

Even if it was intentional or not you are still cool in my book.

 

My Xbox live kept auto disconnects for some reason. I brought mines from Amazon for 40 bucks. I look at my internet and my internet is always up.

 

personally, ive been taking each and every ass beating like a man. disconnecting is for the weak.

 

are we calling out cablepullers? if so NHK iconoclast just yanked so hard

 

lol

 

I would never pull against you and I don't remember ever pulling on anyone, ok? I think it is wack in general and besides, any advantage that one would gain is mitigated by the shame of being a puller. Seriously.

Are you coming to Philly on 6/30 ?

 

I must have jinxed myself. Was reading this thread yesterday, thinking to myself 'I haven't had a single person pull on me ... maybe I'm just lucky.'
Started playing a few matches this morning, and got 3 pullers.
If we're naming and shaming: One of them was called penguindrum (there were a few numbers whacked on the end of there, but I forgot them).
A Lion player. We had had a good match, we went 2 rounds vs 2, and got up to the last, which I was winning, but just as I was about to land the final blow, "Disconnected from Players." Ferkin' annoying.
And, it wasn't a bad connection or anything either, because, apart from there being no lag during our match, we played again, and he won that match.
I fought a Wolf who pulled after losing 2 rounds. (Forgot the PSN). It was a Promotion Match, for me. (All these players were of similar rank to me too, mind you) Irritating beyond all belief.
And a Pai player who did nothing except the ENTIRE. FUCKING. MATCH.
When I stomped him, he pulled on the last round I was about to win, and had the nerve to send me a PSN Message saying nothing except "Noob. The only reason you won was because of a bad connection." (Minus the grammar and all). There was no visible lag at all, the entire match.
Just. Facepalm.

 

You know things are sad when you're an Eileen player and a Jacky disconnects on you, lol. Granted, I was a Hunter rank and he was 8th Kyu, but still... come on, man. I didn't have to accept his challenge at all.

I tend to accept 99% of my fights though, unless I played the guy before and remember us lagging or they have an orange/red face.

 

Amazingly, I havent experienced rage quits in the game. Yet.

 

I haven't had a problem with pullers or ragemail, but I seem to get neg repped a lot. lol.

 

I'm planning to show up to Bar Fights. Be good to see you again.

 

You taking the metro Shag? I might come with you if I can.

 

Mine fixed itself last night after about ten games back to back like you said, although I had turned on uPnP on my router in case that was a problem. But did have the game disconnect me for a split second from the ranked search lobby menu, so maybe they've just been a little caught of guard by the popularity of VF5FS on PSN and there isn't always enough server capacity to handle the number of players. I also had my first really laggy match last night, where on knock down my opponent not only avoid the down hit but also activate and connected with mid-air counter hit Jacky's somersault kick, which I pretty sure is impossible.

PSN also took about five minutes today for me to just sign into the Playstation store on my first attempt, so I won't be surprised if this thread doesn't have a lot of comments on pullers and alleged pullers, as I reckon network conditions are going to be varied tonight.

At E3 Sony claimed something like PSN having 80% customer connection rate, so each fortnights maintenance is probably just them increasing capacity.

 

I guess it had to happen eventually. AvocadoKiwi ragequit at the last second.
